The Problem - A LotR RPS drabble (Sean Astin/Elijah Wood)

[butterfly]

Drabble. An experiment in voice. Elijah had known.

The Problem

The problem was that Elijah had known all along that Sean would kiss him back.

He'd been able to feel it in the way Sean almost breathed him in when they hugged, as if Sean wanted to memorize everything about him. He'd been able to see it whenever Sean looked at him like he was the most fascinating thing in the world.

And when he was with Sean, he felt fascinating and brilliant and wonderful in every way.

Because of all that, Elijah had known that Sean would kiss him back.

He just hadn't expected Sean to kiss him first.

If that's an experiment, then it's worked. That is absolutely fantastic; I'm in awe of people who can say so much in 100 words. Wonderful mixture of confidence and confusion from Elijah. So good.

That's wonderful.

Absolutely wonderful. People hitting a home run their first time at bat really astounds me, and you've done it with this drabble. It's not a form I've had much success with, but I really enjoy other writers' ability to say so much with so little.

Looking forward to reading more of your work. Please say there will be more.
